FAQ

What types of pets do you photograph?

I specialize in photographing all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to more exotic animals like rabbits, birds, reptiles, and even horses. Whether your pet is a furry friend, scaly companion, or feathered pal, I am skilled in capturing their personality and beauty.

Where are you based and do you travel?

Currently I do photoshoots in Geelong, Torquay and anywhere along the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria Australia. Always happy to travel but be advised that travel cost may be applied depending how far out it is.

How should I prepare my Pet for their photoshoot?

To help your pet feel comfortable during the shoot, bring along any favourite toys, treats, or familiar items. If your pet is particularly energetic or anxious, not a worry! We can organise a pre-session consultation to discuss their behaviour and how we can make them feel at ease prior <3

Can I be included in the photoshoot with my Pets?

Absolutely! I encourage you to join your pet in the photos. Whether it’s a portrait with your dog, a fun moment with your cat, or a family picture with your pet, I believe that capturing the bond between you and your pet creates more meaningful and emotional memories.

How long with the photoshoot be?

Currently I offer a 1 hour photoshoot session, however depending on your pets energy and comfort levels, the session could be shorter or longer. Not to worry as I'll always strive to capture your pet cherished moments! We'll work together at your pets pace to ensure the photoshoot remains enjoyable for everyone!

What kind of Photoshoot sessions do you offer?

Currently I offer outdoor sessions only. That means we can schedule to arrive at a park, beach or at your home for the session. We can discuss your desired location prior to booking :)

What happens after the photoshoot?

After the photoshoot, you will receive a collection of professionally edited images in a digital gallery via email, which you can download in high resolution! Depending on the options you choose, you can also receive prints, frames, and other custom products.

How much does your pet photography session cost?

Currently I offer a 1 hour photoshoot for $130. I'm always open to payment plans if reached out directly via my email/contact page, as at the end of the day I want to give you an affordable photoshoot!

Always keep an eye out for discounts/promos in the future around the holidays!

What if the weather is bad on the day?

I always monitor the weather forecast days prior to the photoshoot and will work with you to reschedule if necessary. If it’s not ideal for an outdoor shoot, we can switch to a more suitable date, free of charge. Your pet's comfort and the quality of your photos are my top priority, so I will ensure that we find the best conditions for a successful session.

Can I share my pets photos on social media?

Of course! I encourage clients to share their pet’s photos on social media. At the end of the day, these photos are your photos to do as you please. I love seeing how the images are shared with friends and family. Please feel free to tag me in your posts via my Facebook/Instagram pages so I can see!

If we manage to still fulfil everything that we are after within the scheduled hour then absolutely! However, small additional fees may apply if we require to go over the hour if its looking we need more time to capture every pets favourite features.

Who are the 2 cats in your logo?

They were my 2 loving cats!

The Ginger cat was called Cuteone
He was born 24th December 2004

The Black cat was called Speckles
She was born 1st October 2005

They have sadly since crossed the rainbow bridge in 2022 and 2024, but not after blessing me with 17-18 years of cherished memories all the way from my childhood and into my adult life. In a way, this Photography business is in honour of their memory, so that I may help capture timeless moments for other peoples loving pets for years to come.
